PIGFACE PC requirements, FPS and best settings

Quick answer: can your PC run PIGFACE?

Difficulty profile: how hard is PIGFACE to run?

Where it lands among 937 modelled titles, and how that plays out for entry, mid-range and high-end cards.

We rate the graphics demand of PIGFACE at 8. That puts it above 38% of the 937 modelled games and firmly in the undemanding band.

Behind the number is the publisher minimum card, Geforce GTX 960 or Equivalent, converted to an equivalent 1080p High workload. That makes the score comparable between games, though not exact for any single one.

What it means by card class

• RTX 5060, our example of an entry card, manages roughly 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p, so you will not need to tune much.
• RTX 5090, our example of an enthusiast card, manages roughly 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p, so you will not need to tune much.
• On a high-end card, the RTX 5080, expect the frame rate to be capped by the game or CPU: roughly 253 FPS at 1080p, 253 FPS at 1440p.
• An RTX 5070 (a mid-range card) has more power than PIGFACE can use, landing near 253 FPS at 1080p and 253 FPS at 1440p.

For the processor we score PIGFACE at 32, which is above 47% of our data set.

PIGFACE PC requirements: minimum and recommended

Official minimum and recommended specs for PIGFACE, translated into frame rates.

Taken from the Steam store page; developers can revise these with updates.

Reading the specs against real hardware

The minimum card, Geforce GTX 960 or Equivalent, is the floor Steam sets. In our model it manages roughly 147 FPS at 1080p on Low settings, and 81 FPS if you push it to High.

Steam lists only a minimum specification for PIGFACE, so our demand score leans on that card. Treat the numbers below as an upper-level guide rather than a publisher target.

Steam sets memory at 8 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB RAM recommended, and asks for 5 GB available space of storage.

Which graphics card do you need for PIGFACE?

Which card hits which target in PIGFACE, from a 30 FPS floor to 4K.

Our estimates put 1080p 60 FPS on High within reach of the GTX 1060 6GB and above, with the RTX 5050 as the cheapest RTX 50 route there.

At 1440p the entry card for 60 FPS on High is the GTX 1060 6GB, with the RTX 5050 leading the RTX 50 line.

For 4K, DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling does most of the work: with Quality upscaling the RTX 5050 is the first RTX 50 card to hit 60 FPS on High.

Cards across NVIDIA, AMD and Intel are included. Add your own processor, memory and settings in the can my PC run it checker, or see whether your processor limits you in the bottleneck checker.

Estimated PIGFACE FPS on 28 graphics cards

Estimated frame rates for 28 GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD and Intel. Pick a resolution to redraw the bars.

Top to bottom, the RTX 5090 averages roughly 253 FPS at 1440p (253 FPS at 4K) against 226 FPS for the RTX 5050 at 1440p. Where you land depends on the card and resolution you choose.

Full results table

Every figure assumes High settings paired with a quick CPU. The last two columns use Quality upscaling (DLSS, FSR or XeSS, if the game offers it). Figures above 360 FPS are shown as 360+. Compare two cards directly in the GPU comparison tool.

Is your graphics card good enough for PIGFACE?

A verdict in plain English for twelve popular GPUs.

Think of the verdict column as a starting point. It judges every card on High settings, so a modest result can often be improved by dropping one preset or using DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling.

The step from an RTX 5060 (253 FPS at 1440p) to an RTX 5070 (253 FPS) is close to 0% according to our model, a useful yardstick when choosing between the two.

Resolution playbook for PIGFACE: 1080p, 1440p and 4K

One plan per resolution, each aimed at a steady 60 FPS in this game.

1080p playbook

For 1080p play, GTX 1660 Super, RTX 3060 12GB, RTX 4060 clear 60 FPS on High without any DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling according to our estimates, which leaves room to raise individual settings.

Each row below is the best-looking combination that still holds 60 FPS at 1080p according to our model.

1440p playbook

At 1440p, RTX 4060, RTX 5060, RTX 5070 hold 60 FPS natively on High according to our model, so you can leave DLSS, FSR or XeSS-style upscaling off and spend the headroom on settings.

Use the table as a starting point: it shows the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS for each card at 1440p.

4K playbook

4K is straightforward on RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 5080, which hold 60 FPS on High natively here, so you only need upscaling for extra smoothness.

Pick your card in the table for the preset and upscaling mode that keep 4K above 60 FPS.

Upgrade path: what a faster card gains in PIGFACE

The gain from each rung of the RTX 50 ladder at 1440p on High settings.

Of the six steps up the RTX 50 range, RTX 5050 to RTX 5060 gives the most in PIGFACE (roughly 12% at 1440p), while RTX 5060 to RTX 5060 Ti 16GB gives the least (close to 0%).

Faster cards help less here than in heavier games. PIGFACE runs out of graphics work early, so the CPU becomes the limit.

Compare options directly in the upgrade value calculator or the GPU price to performance calculator.

Graphics memory for PIGFACE: how much is enough?

Estimated graphics memory use on High settings. Falling short of VRAM causes stutter even with a quick GPU.

We put PIGFACE at roughly 2 GB at 1080p High, 2.6 GB at 1440p and 3.6 GB at 4K. That is an estimate derived from the recommended graphics card, so use it as a guide and leave some memory spare.

Dropping texture quality is the quickest way to save memory: stepping from High to Medium trims the estimate to roughly 2.2 GB at 1440p.

What each memory size means for PIGFACE

• A 6 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and upscaling are the practical fixes.
• An 8 GB card is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Where it is short, Medium textures and upscaling are the practical fixes.
• With 12 GB the verdict is comfortable at 1080p, comfortable at 1440p and comfortable at 4K on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.
• On a 16 GB card, 1080p is comfortable, 1440p is comfortable and 4K is comfortable on High. Memory is rarely a worry at these settings.

Which processor do you need for PIGFACE?

Which processors keep a fast GPU busy in this game.

On the processor side Steam asks for 2.4 GHz Dual Core Processor Or Higher at minimum and 2.4 GHz Dual Core Processor Or Higher recommended. Below, each CPU is scored for the frame rate it can feed in PIGFACE.

The CPU load sits in the middle of our range for PIGFACE, which means a modern mid-range processor will not hold back a typical card.

As a reference, a Core i5-12400F can prepare close to 139 FPS here according to our model. If your graphics card can draw more than that, you will be CPU-limited.

Check your own CPU and GPU together in the bottleneck checker and our system bottlenecks guide.

CPU and GPU pairings for PIGFACE

Does the CPU or the GPU set the pace? Seven example builds.

In 7 of the seven builds the processor, not the graphics card, sets the 1440p frame rate in PIGFACE. The first is the RTX 4060 with Core i3-12100F, which the CPU holds near 106 FPS while the card could draw roughly 261.

For balance, look at RTX 5090 with Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The CPU can prepare around 291 FPS and the card can draw roughly 360+ FPS at 1440p, which is a close match.

Treat the builds as worked examples. Your own CPU and GPU can be tested together in the bottleneck checker.

PIGFACE memory and disk space

The memory and storage Steam asks for, and how to read it.

The publisher lists 8 GB RAM of memory as the minimum and 8 GB RAM as recommended. In real use, with everything else running, 16 GB is enough for most people.

On disk, plan for roughly 5 GB free. At 100 Mbps with typical overhead that is roughly 8 min to download, or close to 2 min at 500 Mbps.

No SSD requirement is listed, but solid-state storage still helps with load times.

Add up your own needs in the RAM calculator, which counts Windows, background apps and streaming on top of the game. Check how long the install takes with the download time calculator.

Recommended PIGFACE settings by graphics card

A starting point for several popular cards. Each cell is the highest preset that still hits 60 FPS.

The table gives the best-looking setup that still holds 60 FPS in PIGFACE for each card and resolution.

• Limit the frame rate to your monitor to save power and heat, then use the VRR and frame cap calculator to pick the figure.
• Then trim the costliest options. If the menu has shadows, fog or draw distance options, those are the usual culprits.
• Use upscaling first. It gives up little detail for a large frame-rate gain. Choose the best-looking mode that still hits your target.
• Leave textures on High if memory allows. They barely touch frame rate. Our estimate for this game is 2.6 GB at that resolution.
• Make one change per test and compare the result, so you can tell what helped.

These tables assume the game includes an upscaler, so look in its graphics menu. For advice matched to your own PC, use the best settings generator, or compare modes in the DLSS and frame generation estimator.

PIGFACE on gaming laptops

What RTX 50 laptop GPUs manage at common wattages.

For a gaming laptop, our estimates show RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop hitting 60 FPS at 1080p on High at typical power. At 1440p that group narrows to RTX 5050 Laptop, RTX 5060 Laptop, RTX 5070 Laptop, RTX 5070 Ti Laptop, RTX 5080 Laptop, RTX 5090 Laptop.

Treat laptop numbers cautiously. Wattage, cooling and memory vary between makers, so the same chip can land well below the figures above.

Try different wattages in the laptop TGP estimator.

Genre tips: playing PIGFACE well on PC

General guidance for this kind of game, chosen from the Steam genres and features.

Treat these as rules of thumb for games of this type. They come from the genres on the Steam page, not from testing PIGFACE directly.

• Controller support makes living-room play practical, and TVs often cap at 60 or 120 Hz.
• Because early access games are still being developed, treat today's performance as a snapshot rather than a guarantee.
• Fast action is easier to play with a steady frame rate than a high peak, so consider capping a few frames below your monitor refresh rate.
• Smaller studios sometimes ship settings menus with fewer options, so lowering resolution may be your main tuning tool.

PIGFACE: facts and Steam features

At the time we checked (2026-11-02) Steam showed 2,253 reviews with a Overwhelmingly Positive rating and 96% positive. That is a useful signal for how widely played PIGFACE is.

The game is out for roughly 14 months. Updates from titolovesyou and new graphics drivers can both change how it runs, so revisit your settings occasionally.

Steam features

The facts above are from the public Steam store page. Frame rates here are modelled, since we have not tested the game on every card.

How we estimated PIGFACE performance

A short, honest note on how the numbers are produced.

For PIGFACE the demand score of 8 comes from the minimum GPU, the CPU score of 32 from an assumed processor line, and the VRAM figure of 2 GB at 1080p High is estimated from the demand score.

Each card is scored against the game demand, then scaled for resolution, quality preset and upscaling. If a card has less VRAM than the game wants, the estimate drops, and a processor ceiling stops frame rates running away.

Nothing on this page is a measured benchmark. Expect real frame rates to differ with drivers, updates and your own system, and treat the tables as a guide.
